Gummy was a pet alligator who Pinkie Pie treasured through the good and the bad times. Having all his teeth plucked out and unable to chomp on anything solid, he truly savored the taste of Pinkie Pie's mane due to its Cotton Candy-like proportions. One day though, his owner Pinkie Pie fell in to a deep depression when her grandma passed away. Being as indifferent like always, Gummy sat idly and waited for his master to feel better and become the joyful pony he knew she can become. That day of happiness never came however and Gummy was left all alone in the dark confinements of the Cake's basement when Pinkie Pie went on her journey. Reptilian-like creatures have an odd way of growing up. For dragons, they mature and grow up by becoming greedier. For alligators, it is the increasing feeling of loss. Unable to feast on Pinkie Pie's hair, Gummy grew and became a powerful adolescent. Now fanged with his new adult teeth and filled with rage, Gummy broke out of the Cake's home and rampaged through Equestria, searching and looking to devour his traitorous master.
